And poor Greg had to wait while I loaded the truck with the Pro. The CGEM is an incredibly impressive looking mount in person. The fit and finish over the Atlas is huge. Good luck with it Greg, As usual it was a great weekend! See ya next year!

Greg,
I just got finished running the mount in DEC again to try and determine what the problem is. It seems like the worm shaft is bent, as far as I can tell, or maybe a high spot on the shaft. There is a wobbling sound when running the motor. At slower slew speeds you can hear the motor running normal until it gets to that spot.

There also seems to be a spot on the worm gear where the motors sound as though it gets tight and makes a grinding noise. Just like if you had the gear mesh set too tight, but it's only on one spot thats maybe 3/8 to 1/2 inch. There may be some dirt or metal flash in there or maybe an out of round gear.

I would crack it open and have a look inside, but I don't want to void the warranty. I did shine a flashlight in the front polar scope port and saw the motor gears turning and didn't see any wobble there.
